This Week’s Picks: 6 Songs We Can’t Stop Playing
A new batch of tracks that caught our ear this week — a little dreamy, a little raw, a little cold. Here’s what’s been on repeat.
Jake Goodrum
BREATHE
This one’s dreamy shoegaze done right — hazy, cloud-soaked production wrapped around vocals that stay clean and up front instead of getting buried in the wash. It’s the kind of track that feels like it’s floating a few inches off the ground.
Poise
Nothing You Can Say
There’s real noise in this one, but it never feels chaotic — it’s thematic, almost purposeful, like the distortion is part of the song’s argument rather than just texture. The vocal underneath it all feels genuinely organic, a little raw around the edges, and somehow that rawness is exactly what pulls the whole thing together.
Bed People
PEPTALK
Melodic, soft, and dreamy, but with a beat underneath that keeps it from ever going too sleepy — it’s easygoing enough for background listening but still gives you something to move to. A nice balance that’s harder to pull off than it sounds.
BEV
MY FRIENDS CALL ME MISERY
The hook here is the whole story — catchy in a way that sneaks up on you after one listen. Warm production, nice vocal tone, and lyrics that actually reward paying attention instead of just sitting in the background.
Niks
Hate
A cloudy, emotionally heavy track carried by a beat that hits harder than the mood might suggest at first. It sits in that space between sad and intense without fully committing to either, which is what makes it stick.
Aspex
Drive
The sample choice does a lot of the work here — it gives the melody an instantly memorable edge, and the flow rides over it with a coldness that fits the title perfectly. Great pick to close out the list on.
That’s it for this week. New picks dropping again soon — check back for the next batch.
